Blooming Holiday Resort, hotel in Anuradhapura

Situated just 4 km from Anuradhapura Railway Station, Blooming Holiday Resort provides accommodation in Anuradhapura with access to an outdoor swimming pool, a garden, as well as full-day security.

We stayed at Blooming Holiday Resort for two nights and I can honestly say that the hosts, Sewwandi and Pathum were the nicest people we stayed with during our travels in Sri Lanka. They are also amazing cooks/chefs serving fabulous breakfasts and dinners. They also helped with sights information, clothing repairs and onward travel organizing. The rooms are spotlessly clean and have all the stated amenities. Absolutely recommended!

Sweet Home Tourist Rest, Cooking Classes & Tours, hotel in Anuradhapura

Featuring a balcony with garden views, a garden and a shared lounge, Sweet Home Tourist Rest, Cooking Classes & Tours can be found in Anuradhapura, close to Attikulama Tank and 2.5 km from Kada Panaha...

We stayed two nights at Nilu’s and Malsha’s homestay, and it was absolutely amazing. After three weeks of traveling in Sri Lanka, Anuradhapura was our final stop before heading back to Colombo, and both my partner and I agreed that these last two days were the highlight of our trip. Malsha was a fantastic host. She gave us excellent recommendations, prepared fresh and delicious breakfasts, and even did our laundry. We truly felt at home during our stay. The entire family is incredibly sweet and welcoming. They also arranged a guided tour of the ancient city with their friend Kamal, which turned out to be an unforgettable experience. Having done several guided tours during our trip, we can confidently say that this one was the best by far. The value for money here is unbeatable and the location was also exactly what we had in mind. The homestay is situated in a quiet residential area, which we loved, and it’s only a quick 5-minute tuk-tuk ride to the city center. Thank you, Nilu and especially thank you Malsha, for an incredible stay. We highly recommend this homestay to anyone visiting Anuradhapura!

Our experience with this accommodation was absolutely amazing. From the very first moment, the hosts charmed us with their incredible kindness and friendly approach.

    This cozy and comfortable guesthouse is located near a busy main road with shops and restaurants but it was quiet because it is hidden away on a peaceful side street right across a man-made lake. The room was spartan but spacious and extremely clean. Inoka and Pali are the kindest and nicest hosts that I have ever met. They would offer me tea with warm smiles whether I was coming or going. They rent very serviceable bikes which are ideal for a day long trip to explore the sacred city. Highly recommend!

    Viraj was a great host, he organised some bicycles for us to get about the city, and even offered some free lifts to the bus station. Took the time to upgrade our room for a very reasonable price. His hotel is beautiful and in a nice quiet location just the right distance away from the hustle and bustle of Anuradhapura.

    This was a large very clean room at a high standard. The hosts were very friendly and helpful. They arranged a guide & tuktuk to the scared city , which I recommend. The guesthouse is on the edge of a lake. It’s quiet and there’s lots of places to eat nearby. I highly recommend staying here.

    Coming from a no aircondition bb, we loved the rooms with aircondition! Very clean with large beds, soap available (not all places have that) and great location. Close to the new bus station, shops and supermarked, and still very quiet. The breakfast was cheap and delicious with plenty of food. Owner really friendly and even offered to take us to the old bus station upon departure. We would come back any time!

    Everything. Really good accomodation. Clean & super comfortable. Sanjay was a great host. His cooking was fantastic at dinner & breakfast. Organised Lion beer for us which was real .He arranged for a tuk tuk driver to take us to the ancient city within minutes of our arrival. In addition a taxi next day to our next stop off. As per usual in Sri Lanka always a smile & such friendliness. Overall great stop off guest house. You wont be disapointed.

    Wasantha and his family are charming and great hosts. The house has a very tranquil courtyard garden which is a nice refuge from the heat of the day. The Sri Lankan breakfasts and dinners are delicious and great value. Wasantha is a great source of information and he responds generously to all requests.. we loved our stay.

    The guesthouse is like a family home, basic but nice (U pay for what U get). It located in a countryside, old city, beautiful and quiet area with few shop at 10min walk. The owner is a great host, he helped me to organise my stay in Sri Lanka, good conversation and he even cooked a great dinner for my last night. I definitely recommend this place!!
